Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy: The Trunk

The third tape in this remarkable and beautifully produced video anatomy atlas explores the fundamental structures of the trunk. Tape 3 consists of four sections, describing the musculoskeletal aspects of the spine, the thorax, the abdomen, and the pelvis.

The tapes show you true images of real, exquisitely dissected human anatomical specimens, in three dimensions. As the camera moves from one viewpoint to another, the specimen appears to rotate in space, letting the viewer experience it as a three dimensional object. Aclands Video Atlas uses fresh, unembalmed specimens that retain the color, texture, mobility—and beauty—of the living human body.

A concise synchronized narration runs throughout the video. As each new structure is shown, its name appears on the screen. There is a self-testing feature at the end of each section. A visible time signal shows where you are in the program. The reference booklet gives you both an alphabetic and a chronologic index, with time locations for each structure.

For students, Aclands Video Atlas is a time-saving aid to first-time learning, an effective way to relearn anatomy for clinical rotations, and a time-efficient tool for review at test time. For clinicians in training and in practice it assures a swift renewal of anatomic knowledge. For teachers Aclands Video Atlas shortens the time needed to provide immediate, satisfying explanations of three-dimensional structure.
